A laboratory evaluation of alcohols as attractants for the sandfly Lutzomyia longipalpis (Diptera:Psychodidae) [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2014
The potential attraction from 1-octen-3-ol for sandflies has been documented; however, studies using other primary alcohols are limited.We used a wind tunnel to compare the activation and attractive behaviors in male and female Lutzomyia longipalpis using 1-octen-3-ol and three additional alcohols, 1-octanol, 1-heptanol and 1-nonanol at three different

Carbohydrate digestion in Lutzomyia longipalpis’ larvae (Diptera – Psychodidae)

Journal of Insect Physiology, 2012
Lutzomyia longipalpis is the principal species of phlebotomine incriminated as vector of Leishmania infantum, the etiological agent of visceral leishmaniasis in the Americas. Despite its importance as vector, almost nothing related to the larval biology, especially about its digestive system has been published. The objective of the present study was to
